Proverbs 31:10 A wife of noble character who can find? She is worth far more than rubies. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Striving to become the woman God designed me to be.

One of my favorite ministries (if that is the right word) of all time is Above Rubies. The magazines have encouraged me beyond understanding. The books have changed my life. The retreats and family camps have helped me to become who I am today. Nancy Campbell is truly a Titus 2 woman. She is a blessing to meet and to hear speak. You can just see the love of God through her life and hear it as she speaks. It is amazing. If you ever have the chance to go to a retreat- GO! Or order a book, check out the articles online, sign up for the free magazines. Whatever. But let me warn you- if you are open to it it will change your life!Her two daughters used to sing in the band Considering Lily. Now they are Serene and Pearl and they sing at Above Rubies retreats. They have two awesome CD's that you can order at tea site. These are life-changing songs about mothering, being a wife, etc. Awesome. One song is called Lullaby of Love. Ever since my miscarriage has happened this song has been in my head. The lyrics are below but please click on the above Lullaby of Love link to read what Serene wrote about it. Let me tell you that it cannot describe my feelings any better.

Baby. . .I wish you could have stayed,I miss you growing inside of me.Baby. . .I would have loved to have seen your face,I want to hold you endlessly.

But even though I won't feel you in my armsI hold your memory in my heart.

That made me cry!!! It sounds like a beautiful song. I think a big reason for my crying is that I never want to experience that feeling, and I feel so horribly that you have too!! I am so sorry for your loss. Big Hugs!

That song always gave me goose bumps! I actually couldnt listen to it after my miscarriage a couple of years ago. I just put that CD in yesterday for the first time in a long time! OFf to read what Serene wrote about! Praying comfort for you!
